Gordi the recovering AEW f Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) I'm all stoked that twos-day is on a Wednesday. What better way to celebrate 2/2/22 than with some wrestling! I want AEW to run a special named (premium live) Dynamite called "Chi Town Heat." (Though this probably isn't the best week for that, weather-wise). I remember thinking that was the coolest possible name for a wrestling show, back in 1987. That might have been the peak year for my personal National Wrestling Alliance fandom as well. Possibly the year I enjoyed pro wrestling the most purely as a fan (although there have been plenty of great years both before and since then). This is shaping up to be my peak year for AEW fandom, which is saying something. Though there are also potential future years with COVID restrictions lifted and the Forbidden Door flung wide open. So what does 2/2/22 have in store for us, AEW-wise? FTW TITLE MATCH: “Absolute” Ricky Starks(c) vs. Jay Lethal I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that there will be some exciting fast-paced action in this one. I'm also interested to see who will come out and even the odds when Team Tazz plays the numbers game (if they go that route). (AEW's website's Dynamite preview page has this match listed, but I think the Schiavone video says it's set for Rampage). Jon Moxley vs. Brian Kendrick It feels good to be genuinely excited to watch Spanky fight in 2022. I wonder of he'll bring something different out of Mox, or if he'll just get steamrolled by the guy who only drinks blood these days. Also: Maybe, just maybe, some Dragon involvement, too? TBS TITLE TOURNAMENT REMATCH: Nyla Rose (w/ Vicki Guerrero) vs. "Destination Unknown Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby" Ruby Soho There are so many great entrance themes in AEW and it really adds a lot to the shows, in my opinion. I really like a good David vs Goliath match, so I'm hoping these two bring out the best in each other. TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH: The House Of Black (Brody King & Malakai Black) vs. Death Triangle (PAC & PEZM) If this isn't excellent, I'm gonna be disappointed. I'm hoping they build and build to PAC and Black facing off and then the two of them burn the damned housed down. A HOMECOMING FIGHT: CM Punk vs. MJF It's not like I'm not looking forward to the wrestling here, but I am genuinely more looking forward to listening to the (presumably white hot) Chicago crowd than I am to watching this match. I hope that makes sense. Edited February 2, 2022 by Gordlow 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This is the first AEW show I'm saying I can't miss. I couldn't get myself to watch 205live religiously, but Kendrick IS someone should have been a main event star 20 years ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Has anybody else in AEW publicly denied the Holocaust like Kendrick has? Is this really gonna work out? Edited February 2, 2022 by John E. Dynamite 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romdam Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Any odds the Punk/MJF match DOESN'T happen so this drags on til March? MJF coming out on crutches faking injury to get out of the match? Or does Punk lose in Chicago? Wardlow turn? Or do they do that in that ladder match where if Wardlow wins, he's "supposed to" give his shot to MJF? I just have a funny feeling altogether about the match not happening or something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how much Tony seems to pride himself on delivering matches as advertised, not doing one this big would be out of character. But I don't expect this to conclude the feud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like his dumbfuckery is going 'viral', and I wonder if the Moxley match even ends up happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLETTI Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I suppose this could be posted in other threads as well, but man, maybe ya think big corporations should have a person or two on staff that does the research to make sure potential hires haven't said easily-searchable, publicly-available, WILD shit on the internet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) The TWA. And Rudy Boy Gonzales was their trainer. And I only know about that because there was a HBK Retirement match there, where at the end SHOOTER SHULTZ~! ran in and fucked up the finish by "I AM THE TABLE".

Steventon Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm not a fan of people strategically dumping dirt on others at opportune times, and I am a fan of Kendrick as a worker, but it's hard for a company like AEW to not give in to the social pressure when the comments are that ignorant and harmful as anti-semetic tropes. It'd be different if Kendrick had apologised or changed his views since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLETTI Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 In my mind I see MJF walking into Tony's office, raising his eyebrow, and Tony saying, "He's out." Max is very open and proud of his heritage and surely wouldn't be cool with a Holocaust denier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm guessing CM Punk might not be entirely down with having Kendrick around either, so if both parts of our main event note "hey, this isn't good"... then guess what, nobody's going to die on a hill to keep Brian Kendrick on the card in 2022. Congrats to Kendrick on his figure bookings as The Uncancelled Brian Kendrick for Alpha Male Pro Wrestling or whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Dean Malenko or Matt Sydal or Colt Cabana or Marina Shafir or half of Jay Lethal when he's taken over by the ghost of Randy Savage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
